Evolution-in-Materio is a computational paradigm in which an algorithm reconfigures a material’s properties to achieve a specific computational function. This paper addresses the question of how successful and well performing Evolution-in-Materio pro... Read More about Towards Intelligently Designed Evolvable Processors.

Electrical behaviour and evolutionary computation in thin films of bovine brain microtubules (2021)
Journal Article

We report on the electrical behaviour of thin films of bovine brain microtubules (MTs). For samples in both their dried and hydrated states, the measured currents reveal a power law dependence on the applied DC voltage. We attribute this to the injec...

Confidence Measures for Carbon-Nanotube / Liquid Crystals Classifiers (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Vissol-Gaudin, E., Kotsialos, A., Groves, C., Pearson, C., Zeze, D., Petty, M., & Al-moubayed, N. (2018). Confidence Measures for Carbon-Nanotube / Liquid Crystals Classifiers. In 2018 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) : 8-13 July 2018, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ; proceedings (646-653). https://doi.org/10.1109/cec.2018.8477779

This paper focuses on a performance analysis of single-walled-carbon-nanotube / liquid crystal classifiers produced by evolution in materio. A new confidence measure is proposed in this paper. It is different from statistical tools commonly used to e... Read More about Confidence Measures for Carbon-Nanotube / Liquid Crystals Classifiers.

Evolution-in-Materio uses evolutionary algorithms (EA) to exploit the physical properties of unconfigured, physically rich materials, in effect transforming them into information processors. The potential of this technique for machine learning proble... Read More about Training a Carbon-Nanotube/Liquid Crystal Data Classifier Using Evolutionary Algorithms.
